Buses in San Francisco, CA (Volume Six)

The sixth installation of buses in the San Francisco Bay Area in the United States. We start at Santa Teresa Transit Center in South San Jose, with PM rush buses arriving to meet commuters at the LRT station. Next comes San Jose Diridon - filmed on a Saturday there are no DASH shuttles, but a Caltrain shuttle to Tamien and additional MST services to Monterey-Salinas. After this is Palo Alto Transit Center; with Samtrans, VTA and Margeurite Shuttle (Stamford University) buses meeting with Caltrain services from San Jose and San Francisco. Finally we see Samtrans and MUNI buses meeting at the Daly City BART station.
Filmed in January, 2016.

So glad to see the Bay Area staying loyal to Gillig

[@evanstonbalce9588]

San Francisco's buses are made by New Flyer.

[@mccarrollcraft743]

New flyer

[@evanstonbalce9588]

VTA's articulated buses are made by New Flyer.

[@ThePeninsulaRailfan]

Does he know what happened to the Phantoms?

[@BusTVChan]

NICE FOOTAGE

[@OregonTransitFan]

San Francisco is a real Gillig heaven!!

[@joenichols590]

Oregon Transit Fan it's San Jose and VTA and Gillig have had a long history because Gillig is here in the Bay Area in the city of Hayward and as far as I know the only non Gillig busses vta has anymore are the articulated for BRT

[@cmonleechamone9766]

The line 22, local service and in the far suburbs are New Flyer low floor 600s

[@evanstonbalce9588]

VTA's articulated buses are made by New Flyer because Gillig doesn't make 60 foot buses.

[@evanstonbalce9588]

A majority of San Francisco's buses are built by New Flyer available in both 40 and 60 footers

[@ThePeninsulaRailfan]

You know wat happened to the Phantoms?

[@rcjr1371]

Monterey-Salinas Transit baby!

[@mxmnt6079]

Hell yeah I'm Salinas CA

[@curiousd4871]

More like buses of sf and the bay, don’t forget the Bayarea

[@Welwyn22]

I was hoping to visit this past month, but regrettably my financial situation prevented me from going anywhere.

[@lambeezy2768]

yes Santa Teresa

[@whyvibes...3202]

yeah

[@starthomas3762]

Welwym22 why is there two Kaiser San Jose buses with 42 and 66

[@christophercddelrosariocoish]

What are the buses called the one that has a big window by the door called? It looks like it's from Minneapolis

[@Welwyn22]

Christoher Coish The buses with the window between the door and windshield are new-look (BRT) style Gilligs.

[@Xpninjadan]

Bus 4115 @00:33 of the video is a Gillig Advantage Low Floor bus right?

[@tyonnamorton1135]

Yes

[@jpshk3]

No that’s a Gillig BRT

[@lambeezy2768]

notice non of the buses stopped at the crossing

[@Welwyn22]

+Dubstep Dog03 I believe it's an exempt crossing - supposing you're talking about the one at Santa Teresa. The tracks belong to the VTA light rail and the only purpose the tracks serve beyond the station is a stabling siding - so really this crossing is seldom used.

[@arnizoom]

There is no one riding these buses... so sad, that the transit agencies tint the windows, so you actually can't see, that it's completely empty... we in Europe can't even fit on a bus anymore lol

[@rcjr1371]

Arnie Hajnal I drive a bus, it varies, the time of the day, people are fortunately still riding to avoid traffic gridlock.

[@cmonleechamone9766]

Most of this video was buses from San Jose, 2 counties and almost 60 miles away from San Francisco, even the ones at the end were from the neighboring county. I think I saw maybe 3 actual SF Buses. Still, a good video doesn't get me wrong.

[@Welwyn22]

Darron Lewis San Jose is still part of the SF Bay Area, as such it's included as part of this series.

[@cmonleechamone9766]

Welwyn22 Definitely! Also fair enough. It's just not in San Francisco, CA. Still a good video though.

[@Welwyn22]

I tend to 'regionalise' the SF volumes. Anything South of Daly City in one volume, anything North in another. As such Volume Seven features SF itself in various locations, and San Rafael.

[@mccarrollcraft743]

VTA is not in San Francisco

[@Welwyn22]

McCarroll Craft "Buses in San Francisco" refers to the Bay Area as a whole, and not just within SF city limits
